    So Chris Parsons says Chandler put up 16.6/5.5/4.0 in his third year and harden put up 16.8/4.1/3.7 in his third year as a third option. He does realize the rebounds are less because he plays the 2, Westbrook was the ball handler and also Ibaka was a glass cleaner right? Also Harden scored more points per game and is 6 inches shorter so this guy needs to open his eyes. Smh at the parsons family.

    Also not to mention that Harden averaged 7 minutes less per game than Parsons did.

    His tweet before said Lab Rat. I'm really hoping it's some kind of shot back to Parsons. Don't see how though. All I know is this rivalry is probably the biggest one now and the more fuel, the better.

    Ah, that's how a real professional/man handles it. Let Parson's and family be the ultra defensive, petulant, crying, teenage-girl twitter warriors.

    The absurd part about comparing the two isn't the rebounds but it's ignoring the minutes played and efficiency. Harden played 6 less minutes a game, had a PER 5 points higher and had a true shooting percentage that was about 8 percent higher. Chandler was top ten in minutes played and was second on the rockets in shot attempts per game so to act like he wasn't given a chance to shine is ridiculous.

    Can someone explain to me why going to the Mavs as a 3rd option from being a 3rd option on the Rockets is a "career opportunity" akin to Harden going from 3rd option in OKC to 1st option in Houston? Is Chandler that dumb? Does he really think he's going to run that offense? Monta Ellis uses more possessions than Harden, Howard, or even Dirk! MONTA HAVE IT ALL!!

    Chandler's true colors have come through during this free agent period.

    He's a 14 year old teenage girl. Maybe that's one of the reasons we didn't match.

    Not surprising. He doesn't pay attention during games, either.

    Top 5 in MVP voting and first team all-NBA. The reason Dwight chose Houston.

    Now, go cry somewhere wearing your Love jersey, troll.

    I don't think Parsons or his family understand that last part yet. He's going from #3 option to #3 option on a less efficient team. But hey, this time he'll actually get defended because people won't shade off him like they do on the Rockets with Harden and Howard there to draw defenders.

    You go Parsons! Show them how great you can be when you're actually a focus of the other team's defense!

    Good for him, all that didn't get his team out of the first round.
